The Island

Rating: 5/10 (22 August 2005)

Was prepared to loose my money with another awful Armageddon. Surprise. I got involved with it. Good story, with good beginning.
Ewan McGregor is pretty fine, like aways, but it's just like if Michael Bay left all the actors with their stereotyped actions. Could forget a bit the action and waste some time with personal interactions. In the other way, George Lucas does it very well.
OK, the screenplay is terrible, with poor dialogs and Scarlet Johansson could be better directed, just like she did in "Lost In Translation".
Lots of explosion in last half. Don't think Michael Bay would forget them. Some special effects and too much superman action. Not a special movie, but even not completely trash.
